| Description | The permanganate/bisulfite (PM/BS) process is a novel oxidation process, which can degrade micropollutants within several seconds. As natural organic matter (NOM) ubiquitously exists in an aquatic environment, the PM/BS process will inevitably react with NOM, which may impact the disinfection-by-products (DBPs) formation during subsequent chlorination. This study investigated the effect of PM/BS pre-oxidation of NOM on DBP formation. It was found that TOC removal reached a plateau when the molar ratio of PM to BS was 1:5. Increasing ratios of PM to BS decreased the intensity and area of fluorescence spectroscopy. PM and BS doses, pre-oxidation time, pH of solutions and concentration of $Br^{−}$ impacted the formation potential of various DBPs. PM/BS pre-oxidation decreased the formation of TCM while increasing the yields of N-DBPs, thus increasing the risk of water quality. Calculated toxicity analysis showed that a general increase in CTI was observed with PM/BS pre-oxidation, indicating that PM/BS pre-oxidation had a negative effect on risk control of overall cytotoxicity. Although the PM/BS process could accelerate the degradation of micropollutants, the elevated DBPs formation, especially highly toxic N-DBPs, needs enough attention to control water-quality risk. |
